Fairly clear, but slightly hazy orange and copper coloured body with a two to three centimetre tall soapy tan head with large bubbles that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of grapefruit, grass, resin, flowers, alcohol, nice rich malt with a good deal of sweetness noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Sweet citrus and grapefruit flavours show at first with a lot of alcohol, robust hop bitterness, resin, supportive malt with a touch of chamomile floral notes that end with a slightly astringent and medicinal flavour at the end. Aftertaste is robust, very flavourful and balanced throughout, with a lot of citrus notes with both fruit and bitterness, some good resinous and piney flavours and a touch of nice sweetness on the end along with some alcohol, of course. Overall, a balanced and enjoyable, 'almost' Imperial IPA with some good, smooth hop notes, but more fruit and balance than you'd expect, which makes this go down easily. Great to sample fresh, especially here on the East Coast! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Krisp Market (BestDamnBeerShop) in San Diego, California on 25-February-2020 for US$5,99 sampled at home in Washington on 16-March-2020.
